The book presents the Jewish leaders Judas, Jonathan, and Simon as devout people and has little sympathy for people who favor Hellenization, but nowhere does the text mentions divine intervention.

Originally included in the King James Bible, **1st and 2nd Maccabees** offer a thrilling historical account of the guerrilla warfare in which, with God's help, the Maccabean brothers—Judas, Jonathan, and Simon—achieved extraordinary victories against vastly superior armies, ultimately restoring an independent Jewish kingdom and preserving their religious practices.

Although the book presents the Jewish leaders Judas, Jonathan, and Simon as devout people and has little sympathy for people who favor Hellenization, it must be noted that he nowhere mentions divine intervention. The author must have been a cultivated Jew living in Judah, and can be dated to c.100 B.C.E.

When Nazi occupiers arrived in Greece in 1941, it was the beginning of a horror that would reverberate through generations. In the city of Salonica (Thessaloniki), almost 50,000 Jews were sent to Nazi concentration camps during the war, and only 2,000 returned. A Jewish doctor named Isaac Matarasso and his son escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Nazis and joined the resistance. After the city’s liberation they returned to rebuild Salonica and, along with the other survivors, to grapple with the near-total destruction of their community.

The Fourth Book of Maccabees is a philosophical and theological treatise that explores the supremacy of reason over passion, particularly in the context of Jewish faith and martyrdom. While not part of the Hebrew Bible, it is included in some versions of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament.

¿Por qué existen los judíos? O mejor dicho, ¿por qué quedan judíos en el mundo? No se ha podido identificar ningún otro grupo de personas que haya sobrevivido tanto tiempo en exilio de su tierra. Tampoco hay otro pueblo presente en el mundo cuyos orígenes estén más envueltos en misteriosos y mitos. Ni hay otro identidad que haya vido mas difícil para un pueblo. Ni hay otro pueblo más dispuesto a soportar las dificultades de su identidad.

Jewish Learning Venture has had a blog for a really long time and we were thinking that maybe it’s time to try a new format — turn our blog into a podcast and call it a blogcast. A podcast, living in a blog’s house. You may be familiar with the 4 Questions we ask on Passover…well, there are actually SO many questions and answers in Judaism – some really simple and some much more complicated. And one of the coolest things about Judaism is how we are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers in conversation with one another. So, this blogcast does just that – answers questions.

A compelling podcast that delves into the contemporary struggles and perseverance of the Jewish people amidst ongoing conflicts and persecution.

The title itself represents the mysteries of the origins of the Jewish People, their endurance, and their unique place in the history of humankind. The book opens with a reflection on the nature of humans, and how story telling is both intrinsic to and essential for our species; and what follows is how the Jews formed as a people, were first identified archeologically as such in the monuments of Egyptian pharaohs, and how they cohered tightly by telling their story from generation to generation.

Kommentaar op parashat Vayera (4/5783)

Weet jy van die bus wat jou hemel toe kan neem? Het jy al jou kaartjie bespreek en indien nie, hoekom wag jy nog? Meeste Christene is vas oortuig dat hulle ten tye van dood op pad is hemel toe, maar is dit werklik wat Skrif verkondig? Wanneer ons woorde van meeste predikers vergelyk met woorde van Skrif, is daar soms niks wat ooreenstem nie en ons besef dat woorde van kansels af verkondig word om ore te streel en bankrekeninge te vul. Hoe lank gaan jy nog die leuens glo wat uit kerke kom? Bespreek nou jou sitplek om elke vrydagoggend in die bus te klim wat jou hemel toe sal neem – of sal dit...
